A Surrealist cross-genre poetry collection that ponders the complexities of life
This collection follows the poet as she attempts to trace a through-line across her life; attempting to connect memories of trauma with experiences with romance, sexual repression, familial hardship, and self-discovery—using genre and a semi-surrealist backdrop. This collection is constructed as if the reader is following the poet flipping through channels on an old TV, trying to piece strange clips from black and white sci-fi, horror, and romance movies together to make sense of her life. What it was. What it is. What it could be.
About the Poet
Trisha Miller grew up in a suburb of Boise, Idaho. She graduated from Boise State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in creative writing, focusing on both fiction and poetry, which helped to define her unique writing style. She's worked professionally in copywriting and marketing while exploring surrealist, narrative poetry in her spare time. She is a lover of bizarre art—movies, books, and visual art. As such, her work is often colored by strange, visceral visuals as a metaphor for her autobiographical commentary.
